Need Help With Hids

i recently got a hid kit with a relay harness and i have everything hooked up right but my driver side flickers. Is this a bad bulb or bad ballast ? thanks for the help.

ok if it stayed on the driver side after switching the ballast it's probably got a bad bulb, but just in case, move your ground to the fender bolt. That's never failed me before.
